On Wednesday Jo, Rachel and George headed to Heaton Park to compete in the Runthrough festival of races. Runners can choose 5k, 10k or 10 miles distances.
As it was a hot day, Jo and Rachel opted to run the 5k but George was feeling brave and completed the 10k.
The 5k is an undulating lap of the park and runners were warned about a tough hill on the course. It was a beautiful course passing the boating lake and Friends of Heaton Hall. The 10k was 2 laps.
Despite the heat Jo had a fantastic run, finishing in 25:01 finishing as 7th female and 2nd in her age category. Rachel followed shortly securing 9th female in 27:46.
George defeat the hill twice and secured a 10k personal best, finishing in an impressive 59:28.
